I think the remastered version is pretty much the default that's available on Paramount+ or any other platform that has the license.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is the answer. Also just personally speaking I found the quality of the other non-remastered series (DS9, VOY) to be slightly better on P+.

[–] ClipperDefiance@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Assuming you mean legally, the best options are Paramount+ (or whichever service it's on outside the US) or on Blu-ray. None of the television series are available in 4K to my knowledge, but the movies are.

? I prefer the original special effects, but that's what I grew up with and it gives me the most comfort. I think the only way to watch the original is with the blurays at this point.

Back in the day prime used to have both available for streaming, but the golden era has ended.

If you want the highest quality video and audio the Blu-ray is the best you can get.

Doesn't the blu-ray set include both the remastered effects and the original effects? Last I looked it did.

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, that's why I picked them up.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I misread your previous comment. For some reason I was thinking you didn't like the blu-rays because of the remastered effects.

Sorry for the awkwardness, 100% my bad

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

No worries, I think the way I write may have caused confusion. Trek on. 🖖

[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

Where are you? It's gonna defer depending on your country. In most of the world it's available on Netflix.

[–] FippleStone@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yar har, matey 🏴‍☠️

Or physical media, either is good

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you check your local library, you might already have access to a DVD set.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Netflix in Canada has the 1080p remaster ones, pretty good!

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've watched it on netflix and quality was as good as you could expect of it
